The Macroverse includes anchor titles such as Cowboys & Aliens (2011) and Unique, the first was produced with Universal and DreamWorks and the other was optioned for development by Disney.Scott established Platinum Studios following a successful, high-profile career as the founder of Malibu Comics, a leading independent comic book company that was sold to Marvel Comics in 1994. During his time at Malibu, Scott led many successful comic spin offs into toys, television, and feature films, including the billion-dollar film and television phenomenon Men in Black (1997) .Scott began his career in the comic book industry at age 13 when he started a mail order company. Scott became known for picking early hits as many of the writers, stories and characters he selected were not originally chart toppers. Based on his retail success, Scott began publishing his own independent comic book titles, which led to the creation of Malibu Comics in 1986. His first launch, Ex-Mutants, was an instant hit.Since that time, Scott has been recognized as a pioneer in the comic book industry. He entered publishing upon recognizing the new way comics were being distributed -- and that there was an opening for new, smaller publisher. And that the advent of the Macintosh computer (circa 1986) allowed a small company to look bigger. He then brokered an industry-changing deal in 1992, when the seven top-selling artists defected from Marvel Comics to form Image Studios. Scott signed the artists to a label deal at Malibu to distribute Image Studios comics until their new company was up and running. In addition, Scott worked with Adobe's Photoshop software to develop the leading standard for the computer coloring of comic books.Today, he produces comics and an exciting slate of high-profile, live-action feature films and television series based on current and upcoming comic books. He is also working to create comic books of the future, including electronic comics with animated panels and voice-overs, sound effects, and music from leading record labels like Virgin and Hollywood Records.Scott lives with his two daughters in Los Angeles, CA.
